Rework upload documentation

Matthias Käppler requested to merge 351213-rework-upload-docs into master

Expands on the main uploads index page to give a high-level overview of how uploads work. This is one of the least understood areas of GitLab. Part of WorkingGroupObjectStorage.

The goal of this MR is:

  • Provide a single-page overview of all the mechanisms behind uploads, without going into too much detail.
  • Remove the "background" page, since we decided that the history behind this isn't that important.
  • Remove the "implementation" page because it is outdated, it uses different terminology for the same things and has a lot of overlap with the new docs. We can consider bringing back the sequence diagrams which are nice, but it would cause too much confusion to keep both pages around right now.
